frame lenses have a bigger image circle than the image circle on crop lenses. This is the key difference between these two lens types and we have seen this in the many examples of cropped vs full frame.

I Can See Clearly Now Flannery O’Conner argued that “[Distortion] is the only way to make people see”. This famous statement is initially contradictory and incongruous‚ but in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 it is easy to see the truth of this paradox.

What is a Gender Lens? Think of a gender lens as putting on spectacles. Out of one lens of the spectacles‚ you see the participation‚ needs and realities of women.

The Fresnel Lens Do you know what the largest light house in America? Or how many steps it takes to get to the top? I do. It’s Cape Hatteras light house in Buxton‚ NC. It was completed in 1971 and stands 193 feet in the air. It takes 268 steps to climb to the top. I visited this light house in August of 2010 I had the pleasure of seeing the 6‚000 lb. bronze and crystal lens. In 1803 it was replaced due to being damaged by vandals. Light houses from the 18th century used burning candles‚ oil lamps
